AROUND VOLUSIA

October 25, 1996

DEBARY — A robber struck a Winn-Dixie store early Thursday morning, pushing over a clerk and grabbing cash from the register, officials said.

A customer entered the store on U.S. Highway 17-92 at 1:45 a.m. to buy a pack of cigarettes, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said. The man gave the clerk $2 and after she opened the register, he pushed her away and took an undetermined amount of money, deputies said.

The suspect ran out and drove north on U.S. 17-92 in a dark colored truck.

Deputies are looking for a white male, between 35 to 40 years old, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, dark blond shoulder-length hair and a thick moustache. He was wearing a short-sleeve, light blue plaid shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call investigator Thomas Frazier at (407) 574-5239 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS.
